I love coincidences! I was thrilled to see that @tom.finds found partial piece of a farthing from 1899 whilst mudlarking recently which matches my 1899 Queen Victoria farthing I found at a car boot sale in Grantham recently. My understanding of why we find cut out coins is that they were a form of trench art created by soldiers during the war and that this one was likely made during the Second Boer War (11 Oct 1899 – 31 May 1902). . . . #trenchart #cutoutcoin #mudlarking #farthing #queenvictoria #queenvictoriafarthing #boerwar #victoriancoin #coincidence #happycoincidence #1899 #1899coin https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbcw1BCNU2M/?utm_medium=tumblr
